Sixteen People Survived on an Uninhabited Island
About This Novel
"Book Magazine" ranked first among the "Top 20 Documentary Works on Sea Disasters" - "Sixteen People Survived on an Uninhabited Island". It tells the story of the Dragon Sleeper, which sailed from Tokyo in December 1898 and was originally scheduled to go to the Ogasawara Islands for a fishery inspection. However, it was hit hard by a strong westerly wind on the way. It lost all three anchors and the mast was broken, so it had to go to Hawaii for help. Unexpectedly, on the way back after the repairs were completed, it encountered unprecedented huge waves again, ran aground on the rocks late at night, and was eventually smashed to pieces by the waves. A group of sixteen people on the ship, led by the captain, landed on an uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean. What faced the sixteen crew members was hunger, fear, disease, and endless years of waiting. As long as one person is slightly weak and doubtful, the entire army of sixteen people may be wiped out. So they set four absolute rules: 1. Live with what you get on the island; 2. Don't discuss things you can't do; 3. Live in a regular manner; 4. Keep a happy mood.
